According to the town administrator Hartley Fischer, the ministry Of natural resources told that town that they would not accept their recommendations and they will be opposing the special policy at an OMB hearing. Mr. Fischer explained that the town is not worried about the "fringe" area of the Residency bylaw passed in Mitchell policy but, "We can live with that - what I'm talking about - what we have to get people, especially the merchants in the downtown core, ponCerr,ied. about is the policy as it affects our downtown core. Under the policy a merchant must have approval from the town and the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority to renovate his building. The authority may also request floodproofing measures, a policy has the town has been following in the past. "However, under the policy being put forward. by the ministry, there would be absolutely no new building in the main core for Listowel. If a building burned down, for example, it could be replaced exactly as it existed prior to the fire, but could not be enlarged in any way; and no new construction whatever would be allowed." Mr. Fischer explained. "There is no way we can afford to be placed in this position and we want - all the help we can get in trying to get our policy through," he added. "The ministry is op- posed because whatever happens to Listowel will\ be setting a precedent for , the entire province. No other ..town has been allowed this kind of special policy and I might add that the MVCA has really gone to bat for this town and they still are - even though it means they are opposing their senior organization," Mr. Fischer explained. Bob Cox was home on the weekerid with his mother, Mrs. Phyllis Cox. It's good to hear that Charlotte Norman is home from hospital. Remember that the Goderich Township dance will be held on Saturday night at the White Carnation. Just a few tickets are still. available. Congratulations to Doug Norman of Holrnesville on •the opening of his new store in Clinton. May we wish him much success.

MITCHELL - All future employees of the Town of Mitchell will have to live in the town. Council -put the residency requirement in writing when it passed a motion stating that one of the . conditions for em- ployment with the town will henceforth be that the employee move to Mitchell.

During the 15 years that 'Mr. McVicar worked for Mitchell, he maintained his home in • Watford even though he Was supposed to move to Mitchell when he was hired. However, heme•Ver did and according to Mayor Harold Jordan, this made a lot of the taxpayers'Unhappy.
